Every year, Pam sends a message to our girls to remind them to put their clocks forward. Invariably, they need the reminder.

Boots got it all wrong on Facebook when they told people to put the clocks back. Clearly they had forgot the mnemonic we learnt as children; in springtime the clocks spring forward, in autumn, they fall back (fall is the American word for autumn).

Actually, the whole business is a “pain in the butt” because apart from our computers, tablets, mobile phones, the smart TV and the digibox, every other clock in the house (including the ones in our cars and my cameras) need to be set manually.
